If your skin appears excessively shiny throughout the day, it's because your oil glands are going into overdrive. Along with affecting your appearance, it can also lead to more breakouts, even in adults. It is possible to get oily skin under control, provided your take the right steps. Here are four ways you can keep slickness at bay and ensure your skin looks its absolute best at all times.
-
Clean Your Skin Twice a Day
While twice-daily cleansing can dry out other skin types, it's key for people whose skin produces more oils than normal. It's also important that you clean your skin at certain times, namely morning and night. Oil production continues on even as you sleep, and these oils should be removed first thing in the morning. The longer they are allowed to linger on skin, the more likely breakouts will be.
-
Use the Right Cleanser
If a cleanser is too harsh and drying, it will overstimulate oil producing glands even more. However, if it's too light and airy, it won't sufficiently remove contaminants from your skin. They key is finding a cleansing agent that is gentle enough for twice-daily use, but that effectively eliminates excess oil for a clean, dry appearance.
-
Moisturize on a Daily Basis
While it might seem counterintuitive to moisturize skin that already produces too much oil, when your skin dries out your oil glands go to work producing more. When looking for a moisturizer, choose one that is water-based as opposed to a brand that has a heavier oil base. That way the formula won't overwhelm your skin, but it will infuse it with the necessary moisture.

Carry Blotting Papers with You
On particularly warm and humid days, you're bound to produce more oil as you sweat. It's not always possible to wash and moisturize your face in this case, but blotting papers are a convenient alternative. Blotting papers are designed to absorb excess oils and are available in small packs that can be tucked into your purse or backpack.Finding the right skincare products for oily complexions is easy when you know where to look.
